About the material
What is granite?
Granite is a hard and durable natural stone, suitable for surfaces that are used daily and need to withstand heavier loads. Depending on the type, it can feature a fine or more pronounced structure, different grain patterns and a wide range of colours, from light to dark shades.
A polished finish highlights the stone’s structure and colour, while a rough finish provides better grip and a more natural appearance. For this reason, granite is often chosen for stairs, floors, façades, terraces and other interior and exterior applications.

Finishes
How it can look
Our granite is available with a polished or rough surface, or as split face, depending on the application and desired appearance.
Polished
A smooth, glossy surface that highlights the natural structure and color of the granite.
Rough
A thermally treated, textured, and slip-resistant surface suitable for outdoor areas, stairs, pathways, and other applications.
Split Face
A pronounced, textured, naturally split surface that highlights the raw beauty and striking three-dimensional appearance of the stone.

Care and maintenance
- Granite asks for minimal care – a neutral cleaner and water are enough.
- Despite its hardness, avoid hard impacts on edges.
- On exterior surfaces, check the joints periodically – the stone lasts, joints change.
Common questions
No – the color is mineral and UV-stable. That is why it is the standard for façades and exterior elements.
Yes – low absorption makes it resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, well suited to this climate.
Polished shines, cleans easily and brings out the colour – it suits interiors, and polished stairs are used both indoors and outdoors. Rough is for outdoors – stairs, terraces and yards, where the surface must not be slippery. See all three finishes – polished, rough and split face – in person at the Veles warehouse.
